Article #240 | Sunday, 15th August, 2010

Chestfields Equine Products were proud to support the Lightweight and Heavyweight Working Hunter classes along with the Supreme at one of Britain’s most prestigious horse shows.

The Longines Royal International Horse Show is the official horse show of the British Horse Society and is one of the oldest shows in the world which celebrated its centenary last year. Royal International Horse Show uniquely sees the elite of many equestrian disciplines compete side by side; it has everything from the thrills and spills of international show jumping to the elegance and glamour of the country’s very best show horse and ponies, classical dressage and the exhilarating buzz of the country’s best eventers flying across country. It’s also the British public’s only chance to see their national show jumping team compete, Nations Cup Competition, which see the top ten countries in the world competing against each other for the greatest inter-nation show jumping prize.

The Chestfields working hunter classes were well represented with Warco producing a fabulous clear to win the lightweight section for his owner/rider Penny Price. Jo Callwood’s stunning dark bay, Thor, took the heavyweight.

Both gave super rides, and really opened up in the international arena for the Supreme with Warco claiming the title and Thor standing reserve.
